Quote: "Her husband ran out and discovered his neighbors and their home were gone. Pieces of the house still floated in the river the couple loved so much. Pat knows if she and her husband had accepted that invitation for coffee, they could have been killed too."

Note: Pat and her husband just might find their home exploding anytime too...

Quote: "Residents down wind from a large scrapyard fire late Sunday afternoon were asked by fire officials to remain indoors. Barrie firefighters were called to a large fire of burning metal and plastic at Triple M Metal on Tiffin Street just after 5 p.m."

Quote: "Because we've been there three times in three months, we want to know what's going on, what's causing all these fires..."

Quote: It is thought that firefighters initially fought the flames inside the building, before explosions caused them to withdraw to outside the factory. A police spokesman said officers were called at 5.40pm to the Metal Finishings building on Haviland Road to help at the scene."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

Quote: "A homeowner had been working on the motor of a boat, when gas fumes ignited and a blast occurred, Capt. Eric Larson of the Sandy City Fire Department said. The explosion separated the boat in two and a 55-year-old man was burned."

Note: Much like all the boats and cars and trucks that have ignited or exploded during refueling. This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match. Nobody checked, so there may have been some methane in the air too, which would increase the volatility of the air...

Quote: "2 fire appliances from Paignton were mobilised to the incident. On arrival, crews found 2 double decker buses well alight."

Note: So since June 12th, this makes TEN buses that have gone up in flames, in seven separate incidents, in Britain alone. They say this fire 'is thought to have been started deliberately', and they say ONE of the other EIGHT buses to burn was arson too. But, as all fire officials know, they have to eliminate accidental causes first. Have they eliminated hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with electrified copper or rust on ANY of those three burning buses? Nope, so all they have is an assumption resting on a foundation of ignorance. No surveillance footage on any of these supposed arsons, no motive, no witnesses, no suspects...nothing. So, despite a complete lack of evidence that people were involved, they're assuming people were involved anyway. Derptastic!

Proclaiming things as arson doesn't make it so, and that's especially true of fire investigators who are ignorant of a fire-inducing problem like the one we now face. Britain clearly has a serious problem: either they have fire investigators completely ignorant of the problem (probably) or they have incompetent cops. At least one of those two things is definitely true, and either one puts peoples' lives at risk. Will the British people do anything about it or will they be content to ignore the problem as they burn? We will certainly see!

Paignton is right on the coast, and the wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

Quote: "A house fire broke out around 4 PM on New York Ave. in Martinsburg on Sunday. Officials say the fire started in a station wagon behind a home, before spreading to the back of the house, where the most of the damage was sustained."

Quote: "Chief Bill Schaible, with the North Fort Myers Fire Department, said a barn caught fire around around 5 a.m. Sunday. Schaible said it was fully involved, as was a backyard shed, when the firefighters arrived on the scene."

Note: Also see the car that crashed into a pole, burst into flame and killed 3 people in Fort Myers on this day, as well as the woman who died while driving on I-75 in Fort Myers...

Quote: "Hundreds of firefighters on Sunday battled a wildfire that threatened 1,000 homes north of Lake Isabella, Calif. The Kern County Sheriff's Office ordered people on Saturday to evacuate homes nearest to the fire, which began Friday and by Sunday had spread to 2,000 acres. Several National Forest roads were also shut down. The area is about 40 miles northeast of Bakersfield."

Quote: "Firefighters responded to a condo fire on Sunday at 6:30 a.m., for reports of heavy smoke showing. When firefighters arrived to the 500 block of Sutherland Avenue they located fire coming from the basement of the structure. The building was undergoing construction at the time of the fire."

Quote: "Firefighters are working to contain a wildfire burning in northern Arizona. The Jack Fire was reported around 11:40 a.m. Saturday and has grown to about 800 acres by nightfall. Spokeswoman Heather Noel said no structures are threatened. The fire is burning about 13 miles northeast of Happy Jack in a canyon."

Quote: "People had to face burning sensation in eyes and they could not breathe properly. On Saturday afternoon, people notice smoke intensifying from the back of the factory. After sometime, people started agitating due to a sharp foul smell."

Quote: "According to WOOD-TV, no one was inside at the time of the fire. The Kalamazoo Gazette says firefighters from three area departments arrived to find a large pile of burning trash inside the building. Kalamazoo Public Safety Lt. Lance Handlogten says extreme heat weakened the steel-framed building and caused a portion of the roof and wall to collapse."

Quote: "Riders had to evacuate from the Brown Line station at Armitage around midnight Saturday. The fire sent heavy smoke through the station and out onto the street. Police first thought the fire was on the elevated platform, but they later found a generator was burning in a construction area under the platform."

Quote: "Officials say they closed Guatemala City's main airport for an hour after smoke from the engine of an Atlanta-bound jetliner brought out firefighters."

Note: And the day prior, a passenger plane landed at LaGuardia Airport and one of its engines burst into flame, injuring a worker, in coastal New York City (New York), mentioned in the 2014-06-13 update. Planes smoking, catching fire, crashing and exploding, one flight disappearing and apparently spotted on fire as it flew - not looking good for the aviation industry, but then things aren't looking too great for any kind of vehicles...

Quote: "The Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office says deputies and the Mediapolis Fire Department were called to a campground pumping station for reports of a van on fire and a unconscious man with burns."

Quote: "A flaming Lamborghini Gallardo delayed traffic on the A41 this morning. The incident took place westbound between the M25 J20 (Kings Langley) and the A414 Two Waters Road (Hemel Hempstead Turn Off)."

Quote: "The driver looked worried."

Note: Good thing he only had the coupe version, not the convertible. The coupes start at 'only' around $180,000 or so...

Quote: "The estimated 2,000 square foot dwelling was a total loss, with the dollar value yet to be determined, Medeiros said. A van, a compact pickup, a sedan and two trailers were also engulfed in flames."

Quote: "Saginaw firefighters were in the midst of fighting a garage fire when they had to split their efforts in order to fight a second blaze. The incidents both took place after 1 a.m. Saturday, June 14, according to Battalion Chief Steve Filary. Crews initially responded to a fully involved garage fire at 1415 Lyon, when a second call came in for a fire several blocks away at 1809 Mackinaw. 'They were a few minutes apart,' Filary said. The fire on Lyon caused approximately $5,000 worth of damage to the attached garage. The house fire on Mackinaw was contained to a vacant property, according to Filary."

Quote: "A Delta Air Lines worker was injured while responding to an engine fire on a plane that landed at New York's LaGuardia Airport, authorities said. Airport firefighters extinguished the blaze in the left engine of Delta Flight 2166 from Orlando, Florida, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The fire broke out at 10:25 p.m. Friday after the plane arrived in New York. No passengers were injured, but a ramp worker was taken to a hospital, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said."

Quote: "The ExxonMobil fire was the second occurrence in less than a week for Billings. There was a non-injury fire Wednesday afternoon at Phillips 66. Low-hanging, black smoke from the ExxonMobil fire drifted south from the refinery toward a residential area in Lockwood for a few hours."

Note: Lockwood is located on the eastern (downwind) banks of the Yellowstone River...

Quote: "Miami Fire Rescue workers responded after a boat caught fire in South Florida waters Friday morning. The incident happened about a fourth of a mile from shore in the area of Dinner Key Marina. Footage showed the stern of the boat badly burned."

Note: This is the 7th school bus to burst into flame in June, so far. A truck burst into flame while parked on a ferry boat near Tenerife recently, mentioned in the 2014-04-26 update. In December 2013 a mysterious explosion at a restaurant outside a beachfront hotel injured 4 people on Tenerife, mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update...

Quote: "Northbound I-95 was closed near Newark for about two hours late Friday into Saturday after a trailer hauling a race car caught fire. The fire was reported at 10:34 p.m., near the railroad tracks just north of Del. 896, emergency dispatch officials told The News Journal."

Note: Also see the woman in her 30s who had a seizure and crashed her SUV into a canal in Ogden, mentioned in the accidents section. Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and will damage brains, sometimes causing seizures, 'medical events', unconsciousness or death, and it is highly flammable and is also igniting vehicles (among other things)...

Quote: "Three coaches were completely destroyed after a fire broke out in a salvage yard in Great Bridge this afternoon. Fire crews from Dudley, Tipton and Brierley Hill spent more than two hours tackling the blaze in Bagnall Street, which started at around 4pm. The flames also damaged a fence and summer house belonging to a house adjacent to the yard."

Note: This place is just east (downwind) of both the Walsall Canal and the River Tame...

Quote: "In a bizarre coincidence, three buses in separate parts of the country were engulfed in flames today."

Note: Hah, coincidence, right. So, counting the three buses that were destroyed by fire at the salvage yard in Great Bridge, that's six buses that went up in flames in one day in Britain. Fast forward a bit and we might just see stories like this: 'In a bizarre coincidence, London, Leeds and Birmingham have been destroyed today by suspected gas explosions.' Also see the car that burst into flame outside a train station in London...

Quote: "The flames broke out early Thursday morning on an Edinburg farm near Rogers Road and Hoehn Drive. Edinburg Fire Chief Shawn Snider tells us the 18-wheeler was parked outside the garage, and the vehicles were parked inside, when the flames sparked up. It's not clear what caused the fire."

Quote: "As it stands they do not believe this fire will be added to the list of now 15 suspicious fires in the Greater Vernon Area."

Note: Lots of stuff, including other parked vehicles, have been burning up in Vernon lately. They don't see a connection? Parked vehicle bursting into flame versus parked vehicles bursting into flame. It's hard NOT to see a connection unless you're on some really good drugs...

Quote: "A barn in the Chuckey area was destroyed by fire this afternoon. Firemen from the Tusculum, Newmansville, and Nolichuckey Voluteer Fire Departments were dispatched to 198 Summit Ridge Lane, off the Chuckey Pike, just after 3:15 this afternoon. The barn was already on the ground when firemen arrived."

Quote: "Six vehicles set to be auctioned off at Bel Air Auto Auction were damaged by fire early Wednesday morning, the Office of the State Fire Marshal said. The fire, reported at 3:08 a.m., started in a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup in a pre-auction lot and extended to five adjacent vehicles, according to a Fire Marshal's Office notice of investigation."

Quote: "The first fire was reported around midday Tuesday at the intersection of Route 24 and Boulton Street. Six more were reported around 3 a.m. Wednesday at the Bel Air Auto Auction. An eighth auto fire happened around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in the 2200 block of Historic Drive in Forest Hill."

Note: Whew, so two cars went up in flames in separate incidents (sounds like they were being driven when they ignited) and then six parked cars went up in flames in the wee hours at an auto business too...

Quote: "Eastbound lanes of I-10 in the area near Joshua Tree National Park and the Salton Sea were expected to be closed at least through 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11, because of a fire that burned up a semi truck that was loaded with potatoes."

Note: Also see the truck that burst into flame on I-10 in Beaumont (California), which ignited a brush fire too...

Quote: "When Vancouver firefighters arrived, the Studebaker and another classic car, which appeared to be a Volkswagen Beetle, were on fire inside the garage, and the flames were spreading to the attic. Besides the two inside the garage, a third car in the driveway was also burned."

Quote: "An early morning fire near Milton not only destroyed one man's barn, but his camping trailer. The fire along John’s Creek was reported about 3:30 Wednesday morning. Sonny Waugh tells WSAZ.com that several four wheelers, a lawn mower and tools were also destroyed."

Quote: "The Clinton RCMP received a report of an abandoned vehicle in a rural area outside of town at 2pm. Upon arriving at the scene to investigate, police discovered a body inside the partially burned vehicle. The circumstances of the death do not appear to be suspicious at this time."

Note: Ah, so just another person burning to death in their vehicle then...

Quote: "A small fire and explosion at a new mixed-used building near the Santa Monica civic center on Tuesday left two workers burned, including one whose injuries were described by fire officials as critical. The incident was reported about 11:45 a.m. in the basement area of the multi-story structure at 1725 Ocean Ave..."

Quote: "They were doing some work in the basement area..."

Note: Much like all the various underground electrical explosions and fires plaguing cities and towns, except a couple of people happened to be near the explosion in this case...

Quote: "Two people were injured in Norwalk Tuesday morning following a manhole explosion. Shortly after 8:30 AM, there were reports of multiple explosions and fire in the area of Main Street and Hoyt streets. When police arrived they found smoke and fire coming from three manholes on Main Street."

Quote: "Deputy Chief Ed Prescott of the Norwalk Fire Department said, 'It [the man hole cover] was underneath an SUV that was parked over it. The man hole came up, hit the SUV. The concussion blew some patrons that were inside the New York Bakery across the floor. The glass actually shattered and just dropped straight to the ground, which was a plus. It didn't really shoot to much inside although some glass did get inside the bakery, but not as much.' 'A couple of guys were knocked down off the tables on to the floor, everybody scrambled. Glass was flying all over the place and the car outside jumped up about 4 feet,' said Muro."

Note: Dayum, one of the explosions blew off a manhole cover and lifted a car FOUR FEET. If that car hadn't stopped the manhole cover, this event could easily have killed someone. I've mentioned it before: you might not want to walk or park near manhole covers if you can avoid it. Seems mighty risky these days...

Quote: "Authorities say all employees at a Columbia Falls, Montana, fiberboard plant are accounted for after reports of explosions and a fire. Cindy Mullaney of the Flathead County Office of Emergency Services says all the workers at Plum Creek Timber Co. got out of the plant."

Quote: "It took more than an hour to get the fire out. It started in the storage hold of the ship. Sky cam video shows the thick black column of smoke that poured out of the ship before the fire was put out. Some wooden cargo supports in the ship caught fire but it's not known how it started."

Quote: "It seems the tyres of the truck caught fire, so we are examining if faulty brakes were to blame."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

Note: Fourteen parked cars burst into flame between 4:30 AM and 7 AM in two neighborhoods in Chicago (Illinois) in late May too, mentioned in the 2014-05-28 update. A home was also just destroyed by an explosion and fire at 2 AM in Hazel Crest (Illinois), just south of Chicago, mentioned in the 2014-06-08 update...

Quote: "A Columbia home was heavily damaged after a car in its garage caught fire Tuesday night."

Quote: "No injuries were reported, but the fire caused an estimated $300,000 in damage to the home, garage, and car."

Note: With $300k in damage, there can't be a whole lot left of that house. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time so if you park a vehicle in an attached garage then you're gambling big-time...

Quote: "Two days earlier its driver suffered minor injuries after leaving the road and ploughing into the field. The car had not been moved in the meantime, and it is not yet known what caused the car to catch fire."

Quote: "Birdwatchers noticed the fire at about 12:30 p.m., according to Town of Two Rivers Fire Chief Arik Hansen. The fire’s origin remains unknown, Hansen said. Hansen said the fire burned beams from a collapsed barn and caused a three-acre grass fire."

Quote: "A fire that destroyed a home near Lake Stanley Draper is under investigation. Fire crews rushed to the two story home in the 1400 block of Sauna Lane around 5:30 this morning on reports of smoke. When they arrived they found the house engulfed in flames. OG&E was called out to the scene after firefighters discovered downed power lines."

Quote: "Firefighters are currently battling a large fire at Thompson Hardwood on Baxley Highway in Hazlehurst. Jeff Davis County Sheriff Preston Bohannon says the fire started on Monday morning. At this time it is unclear how it began, but Sheriff Bohannon says they do not suspect foul play. Sheriff Bohannon says about 12 counties and agencies are battling the fire and he expects that they will be on scene until at least midnight."

Quote: "Two workers are in critical condition with third degree burns covering most of their bodies. Edgefield County EMA Director Mike Casey says, 'One was about 80 percent from head to toe. Third degree. The other was probably about 40 percent, 3rd degree. Both were listed in critical condition.'"

Quote: "People in Edgefield say they heard the boom and felt the vibrations at least three miles away."

Quote: "Crude oil tanks near the sulfur recovery facility at the refinery of Sinopec Yangzi Petrochemical Co. exploded at about 12:44 p.m., the Nanjing firefighting department said. Three of eight oil tanks at the site are on fire after the explosion toppled them down."

Quote: "An explosion in the City of Chuxiong in Yunnan Province has left three dead and four injured, Xinhua reports. A report from the Chuxiong People’s Government said that the explosion occurred at 2:30am today (June 9) at the Yunnan No. 5 Public Highway and Bridge Construction Company on 64 Xiyun Street in the Chuxiong Development Zone."

Note: I've mentioned the nitric acid problem before with previous nitric acid fires and explosions. Nitric acid is a strong acid and dangerous to touch, but it has a flammability index of 0 - like WATER - and by itself is not flammable and does not explode. From Wiki: "Flash point: Non-flammable". However, nitric acid is explosively flammable if it comes into contact with gaseous hydrogen sulfide. So if any nitric acid leaks at all and there's any hydrogen sulfide in the air or adsorbed onto materials with which the nitric acid comes into contact, then bad fires and/or explosions are going to result, like this one, and like the nitric acid explosion that damaged a Rolls Royce plant in Indianapolis (Indiana), mentioned in the 2014-03-28 update...

Quote: "The area around Rayong, 180 kilometers (112 miles) southeast of Bangkok, hosts many of the country's heavy industries, which are serviced by port facilities on the Gulf of Thailand."

Note: And the day prior, thousands of residents in this area were sickened by toxic gas of unknown origin, mentioned in the 2014-06-08 update. Hydrogen sulfide is deadly and will sicken or kill people and animals and it is also highly flammable and will cause fires and explosions. One day people are sickening from unknown gas and the next day a petro plant goes up in flames? Things are gettin' pretty obvious here...

Quote: "A passerby called 911 about the fire on W.B. MacPhail Drive around 3 a.m. The cab portion of a tractor-trailer was engulfed in flames when the North River Fire Department and Queens District RCMP arrived."

Note: Cornwall is located on the northeast (downwind) shore of Lake St. Lawrence...

Quote: "A class-A motorhome was traveling southbound on I-15 near milepost 3 in Arizona when it caught fire, Arizona Highway Patrol Sgt. John Bottoms said. The two occupants in the motorhome were able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road and escaped before the rest of it was engulfed in flames. 'It burnt all the way down to the frame,' Bottoms said."

Quote: "A brush fire that's torched tens of thousands of acres in western Broward County blanketed South Florida in smoke and fog Monday morning and shut down U.S. 27 from Alligator Alley to Southern Boulevard in Palm Beach County for 14 hours."

Quote: "According to a fundraising page that says it seeks to raise money for the teen’s family, the boy was critically injured in the explosion and is expected to undergo three surgeries and spend two months at the Army Burn Center in San Antonio. The page says that he sustained burns to his face, legs and arms, and is currently on life support."

Quote: "Dispatch received multiple calls last night around 8:15 PM reporting a huge explosion somewhere in east Amherst. The reporting party on Jenks Street said it 'shook the house,' and upon first arriving on scene an Amherst police officer noted smoke off in the distance woods."

Quote: "A boat was destroyed early Sunday morning in a Rock Island fire at a vehicle-repair business owned by the family of Ald. Steve Tollenaer, 4th Ward. A fishing boat caught fire at Tollenaer's Friendly Service, 720 31st Ave., Rock Island, and the fire department responded at 5:49 a.m. Sunday. No one was at the 7,500-square-foot business at the time..."

Quote: "A couple of fairly good-sized truck fires were both quickly attended to by Everett firefighters on Sunday. Early Sunday afternoon the load in the back of a truck at Pacific Topsoils just north of the Snohomish River caught fire. Then Sunday evening a flatbed truck loaded with hay caught fire in a field east of Larimer road."

Quote: "Lowndes County Fire Rescue firefighters work the scene of a vehicle fire on I-75 close to the Georgia Welcome Center at Exit 2 near Lake Park Saturday evening. A recreational vehicle burned..."

Quote: "Four days after a car went up in flames killing two teenaged brothers trapped inside, a woman had a narrow escape when her WagonR caught fire in northwest Delhi on Sunday night — the sixth car blaze incident in the city this year."

Quote: "Five people have lost their lives to car fires in Delhi so far this year. The vehicles were all relatively new and manufactured by well-known car makers. In her statement to police, Rathee said she and her husband Sikander Pal had bought the new WagonR three years back and the car had been serviced regularly."

Note: Yep, India is starting to wake up. Apparently people in the United States and Britain and Australia and many other places still need to see more people critically burned or killed as vehicles spontaneously ignite, which will certainly happen...

Quote: "Investigators confirm a propane tank and a battery were found in the SUV but could [not] say how the fire actually started."

Note: So electrified copper AND a tank containing flammable gas, both in close proximity to each other. This fire may have been caused by the Ghostly Match igniting leaking propane, or it could have been the battery itself igniting and making the propane tank vent and explode. They'll never know for sure what caused this fire. All they can do is speculate, and since they're ignorant of the atmospheric problem, their speculations aren't likely to be very accurate. One thing is certain though: some more people got charred by yet another vehicular fire...

Quote: "The first fire Monday was at the back of a garage on Lexington Avenue. The second fire broke out in a brush pile in the front of a house one block away on Ontario Street. The third fire was another block away, at the back of a garage on Congress Avenue."

Note: They're assuming arson, but nobody has seen anyone around these fires, there's no motive, no suspects, no surveillance footage, no nothin' except an assumption...

Quote: "Investigators say a man told them he was pouring laquer thinner on a varnished floor near a dryer when the floor and he suddenly caught fire. The man told police he ran outside, then heard an explosion. Police said the man told them he was not smoking at the time. The man works for a flooring company. He has burns on his arms and upper body and had to be admitted to the hospital. Police reported several calls for a man on fire and an explosion."

Note: Sounds like this could be the work of the Ghostly Match. I mentioned flooring chemicals explicitly: "The volatility of the air need not be entirely from hydrogen sulfide, but can include any other flammable vapors like methane, flooring chemicals, natural gas, gasoline fumes, alcohol, sunscreen, butane like that used in cannabis oil extraction, flammable vapors like those generated by meth production, etc, with just enough hydrogen sulfide present to cause ignition."

Quote: "RFD says the fire began in some nearby brush and debris and then spread to a nearby garage and shed on the 1100 block of Brentwood Drive. Firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading to the home or neighboring properties. The cause of the fire is unknown, but witnesses reported seeing a small fire on a nearby power pole about the same time."

Quote: "The family lives across the street now and was planning on moving into the home after the renovations were completed this summer. 10-year-old Tyler McClanahan witnessed the flames shoot out of what was supposed to be his future home."

Quote: "As many as 13 homes are believed to have been damaged in the fire. Three of those are believed to be a total loss."

Quote: "Melzer says he screamed to wake up his father. They ran out of the house to safety and watched as cars in front of the homes caught on fire and electrical wires fell. 'The Jeep, I heard that explode when we were across the street,' he said. 'The electric lines started sparking, exploding. Other homes started catching fire flames started flying across the street.'"

Quote: "Witnesses in the neighborhood and beyond said they heard a loud boom that some said shook their windows."

Quote: "The owner of the home, who was not there when the fire broke out, told firefighters he had some hunting ammunition stored upstairs, but BFD officials believe that is unlikely to have caused the magnitude of explosion reported by witnesses. No other occupants were home."

Quote: "Benjamin Norsen, a 21 year-old Clifton Springs resident, is thanking his lucky stars after his vehicle caught fire and became fully engulfed in flames on Friday afternoon. Norsen was driving his 1990 Ford Bronco down Pearl Street in Clifton Springs when the fire erupted. He was not injured in the bizarre incident."

Quote: "Police got a call around 1 a.m. that there was a house on fire at 945 N.W. Joy Ave. A resident got home and found the house and two cars on fire, and tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher and garden hose. When fire crews arrived, they found heavy flames coming from the house, cars and garage and confirmed nobody was inside."

Quote: "Two blazes, first spotted Saturday afternoon, quickly grew to more than 6,000 acres. About 250 homes remain under an evacuation order, and authorities say another 2,000 are in an area considered threatened."

Quote: "An unquenchable fire that has been smouldering for weeks deep within the bowels of Iqaluit’s garbage dump has now forced the closure of schools and prompted a health warning as thick, white smoke billows over the Nunavut capital. Referred to locally as the 'dumpcano' — the fire has been burning since May 20 and there’s no end in sight, said Iqaluit fire chief Luc Grandmaison."

Quote: "The Department of Health has once again issued an advisory asking people with heart and lung disease, the elderly and the very young to stay indoors as much as possible, with the windows closed and air exchangers turned off."

Quote: "It’s the fourth fire at the Iqaluit dump since December."

Note: They gave up in May on putting this fire out. That putrid odor may very well contain some hydrogen sulfide. It probably does and if so then the folks there may suffer long-term effects like kidney damage, brain damage, heart damage, eye problems, compromised immune systems, all kinds of stuff. The British didn't weaponize hydrogen sulfide and use it to kill German soldiers in trench warfare in WWI because the effects are NICE. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

Quote: "A home in the 800 block of Ross Avenue exploded and caught on fire, authorities said. The owner of the home was getting the house ready to rent when the home exploded, authorities said. Officials said two people were injured in the fire. The extent of their injuries is not yet known."

Quote: "The city witnessed two fire accidents on Thursday night. A fire at Chetpet substation plunged hundreds of houses in the locality in darkness. In the second instance, in an early morning fire at Pushpa Nagar, Nungambakkam, several houses were gutted."

Quote: "A Russian passenger plane Ilyushin IL 96-300 has caught fire at the Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow, according to Russian media. Although the plane has been damaged by the fire, there were no casualties, since nobody was on board at that time. The Ilyushin IL 96-300 plane used to be one of the planes picked to fly Russian President Vladimir Putin."

Quote: "Crews responded and were on scene in about six minutes, Winfrey said. Flames could be seen from a distance. 'We found an attached garage, shed, three vehicles, a motor home and an outbuilding on fire, fully involved,' Winfrey said. 'The garage was already falling in when we got there.'"

Quote: "The fire started in the garage, but investigators are still working to determine what sparked the blaze. Inside the garage was a pickup truck and a vintage motorcycle that belonged to the firefighter's grandfather, according to family members."

Note: Obviously he doesn't know what's going on else he wouldn't have had a pickup truck and a motorcycle parked in his garage...

Quote: "There appeared to be some sort of malfunction while crews were working on a duct in the basement, and a fire was sparked, quickly shooting through the duct up to the roof."

Quote: "The fire Friday night comes the day after a five-alarm blaze ripped through a Staten Island home and left 34 people injured, including 23 firefighters. More than 200 firefighters were called to the scene, and the fire took eight hours to bring under control."

Quote: "The fire comes ahead of a royal visit to the docks by The Queen who will officially name the carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth on 4 July. MOD officials confirmed that the naming will be a traditional champagne ceremony. Later in July, the dock at Rosyth will be flooded to allow HMS Queen Elizabeth to float for the first time. Sea trials will then begin in 2017 with flight trials of Lightning II aircraft starting the following year."

Note: Not the first British aircraft carrier to catch fire in recent times. Another British aircraft carrier caught fire in February while docked in coastal Portsmouth (Britain), mentioned in the 2014-02-26 update. Ironically, the carrier caught fire while Prince Charles was there, since it's going to be named after him. Awkwaaard!

Note: Can't even get them off the assembly line before they start burning nowadays. Reminds me of an incident where a brand new semi tractor burst into flame right off the assembly line while undergoing road testing at a plant in Lower Macungie Township (Pennsylvania), which destroyed the semi before it ever even touched a road, mentioned in the 2014-04-15 update...

Quote: "How did that guy catch on fire on Kingsway! Think a guy from Ladbrokes put him out. Just smelt burning then people were trying to put him out. Was by the bus stop outside Ladbrokes on Kingsway..."

Quote: "The Shard in London has been evacuated after emergency services were called to reports of smoke coming from the basement. London Fire Brigade said that seven fire engines with 50 firefighters were at the scene after it was called to investigate at 10.30am this morning. Around 900 people were evacuated from the building, fire service officials said, adding that a full evacuation of the Shard's 72 floors had been called as a precaution, and that there was no suggestion at this stage of there being a fire."

Quote: "It is believed to be the first evacuation of the tower, western Europe's tallest standing at more than 1,000 feet."

Quote: "The Logandale Volunteer Fire Department’s Facebook page said they expect the fire to burn for two months, while smoke and flames are expected to be seen for weeks. A BLM spokeswoman said the fire will burn for about a week."

Quote: "The fire occurred Thursday morning aboard Metrolink train No. 811 in Irvine. As a result, many other trains in the area are at a standstill and considerable delays are expected. Concialdi says 56 people, including three in wheelchairs and three crew members, were taken to the back of the train, which has five cars."

Quote: "Firefighters are working to contain a wildfire that's burned about 500 acres near Don Pedro Reservoir. The so-called 59 Fire started about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday as three blazes broke out along the side of La Grange Road near Bonds Flat Road, according to a Cal Fire spokesman."

Quote: "A house fire burned out of control on Lake Spivey on Thursday morning. Chopper46 flew over the home on Emerald Drive in Jonesboro as flames swelled. The house is situated on the lake, surrounded by trees."

Note: That's a mansion, not a house, about eight or ten times the size of my house. You can tell from the pics in the first link that the wind was blowing off the lake right onto that home. It's a lot harder to protect a big mansion like that from the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane contamination problem than it is a small house, especially when they put it right on the edge of a lake like that...

Quote: "Two teenaged brothers were charred to death on Wednesday, while their uncle suffered burn injuries when the car they were travelling in caught fire in South West Delhi's Kapashera area, police said."

Quote: "The rear doors of the car reportedly got jammed and the boys were not able to escape."

Quote: "In another incident in the national capital, around 70 shanties were gutted in the Chanakyapuri area of New Delhi district this evening."

Quote: "A paediatric surgeon today moved a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a probe into what he says are growing instances of cars catching fire spontaneously, often killing the occupants."

Quote: "His petition says that in several such car fires, the occupants were burnt alive as the doors and windows jammed, cutting off escape."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide fires will often involve electrified copper which can take out the electrical system in a vehicle. If you have power locks/windows then you can end up trapped inside a burning vehicle, and that can prove to be very fatal very fast. From the full hypothesis: "Vehicles of all kinds will continue to burn, as they have been, and the number of vehicular fires will continue to escalate, inevitably resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of people being incinerated in their vehicles."

Quote: "According to the report, the Fregeau couple were not able to unlock the doors or escape the car through the windows. Golden and a second bystander - Kerry Mann - sprang into action and were able to break two of the windows in order to get the couple out of the car."

Note: I've mentioned this problem before. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. So sometimes these fires affect the electrical system in vehicles, like the boat with no one aboard that burst into flame and started itself then took off across Coffs Harbour on fire, smashing into other boats, mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update. But besides vehicles sometimes starting themselves, another problem with these fires is that electric locks and windows may stop working and then you're in a burning car with the oxygen supply rapidly disappearing and no way to open doors or roll windows down. So, it's probably wise to keep something handy in your vehicle with which to break out windows in an emergency, at least if you have electric locks/windows...

Quote: "'She was driving the car and realized that there was something coming from under the hood, smoke of some kind,' said Stromfield. 'When she went to stop the car, she didn't have any brakes. The pedal went all the way to the floor. So she chose to get out of the car.' Sarah Coon, 20, of Shortsville, bailed while the car was still moving. Authorities found her sitting on the pavement 40 yards away from the fire. The forward progress of her car was stopped as it crashed into three parked and empty vehicles. A second car also caught fire."

Quote: "Charles Allen, a Democratic nominee for D.C. Council, lives near the area and called 911 when his windows rattled following what he called a huge explosion."

Quote: "Fire crews battled a two-alarm fire at a row house in northeast D.C. on Wednesday afternoon. They say there was an explosion around 3:45 p.m. at the home, which is located at Isherwood and 16th Streets NE. Police have since confirmed that a body was found inside the home."

Note: Last year, an enormous explosion and fire devastated a chemical plant in Geismar, killing at least 1 and injuring dozens of people, mentioned in the 2013-06-13 update. A Shell chemical plant was just hit by a massive explosion and fire in coastal Moerdijk (Netherlands), mentioned in the 2014-06-03 update. From the full hypothesis: "Likewise, chemical plants of all types will burn and/or explode, including biofuels plants, fertilizer plants, specialty chemical plants, petroleum-related facilities and more."

Quote: "Firefighters responded to the school bus fire at about 11:10 a.m. on Deerfield Road, east of I-94, the release said. The fire started in the passenger side wheel area before spreading to the engine and then entering the cabin of the bus..."

Note: This is the third school bus to burst into flame in June, so far, that I know of...

Note: Both of the above bus fires blamed on blown tires. The tires very likely blew because the brakes had ignited and they burned the tires until the tires ignited and exploded. Brake pads and tires are absorbing methane and hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot, and then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles the worst - like fire trucks, buses, tanker trucks, dump trucks, tractor trailers, etc - but no vehicle is immune. You can often spot these fires from the pictures as these fires will break out in the wheel wells...

Quote: "A 2011 Chevrolet Malibu was destroyed in a fire Wednesday morning at Cleveland Place, and two other vehicles parked near it were damaged as well. The blaze was reported at 3:21a.m. A police officer, the first to arrive at the scene, found the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu fully engulfed in flames. On initial inspection, police said it appears the fire began within the engine compartment."

Note: Engine compartment, where the battery, battery cables and other electrified copper wiring is located. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and it's reactive with rusty iron/steel too. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

Quote: "While still under investigation, the fire is believed to have started in the garage in one of the two vehicles. The home had major fire damage in the garage and moderate damage to the interior."

Quote: "It may be mentioned that a hotel near general Bus Stand Jammu caught fire a few days back which also claimed some precious lives. Yesterday, a bar near bus stand also caught fire, and today it was in the Abhinav Theater."

Quote: "The Asheville Fire Department says Gary Williams' family members found him on fire in the kitchen."

Note: Not unlike the woman who went outside for a smoke and burned to death on her porch in The Woodlands (Texas), mentioned in the 2013-12-12 update. Clothes will absorb methane and hydrogen sulfide and then they will become extremely easy to ignite, even with static electricity, and such fires will burn very hot, making fatalities more common...

Quote: "A family was jolted awake by the sound of explosions in their garage early Tuesday morning. It's unknown what made the noise, but the family discovered that their garage was engulfed in flames."

Note: I think the sound of explosions in the garage was probably caused by...explosions in the garage!

Quote: "A major fire broke out late Tuesday at a chemical plant operated by oil giant Royal Dutch Shell near the port city of Rotterdam, Dutch emergency services said. The Security Region Central and Western Brabant said in a tweet that nobody was missing in the fire in the town of Moerdijk. Shell spokesman Thijs van Velzen later said that two people suffered minor injuries."

Quote: "Fire crews worked well into the night to snuff out a blaze that broke out Tuesday, June 3, in a garbage intake pile at the Kaizer Meadow Environmental Management Centre. Volunteer fire departments from Chester, Chester Basin and Windsor lent a hand in battling the landfill blaze, which was first reported around 3 p.m."

Quote: "Employees said they heard a loud explosion. Shortly after that, flames and clouds of thick black smoke engulfed the structure. The owners say the building is a total loss. The company is a satellite operation that manufactures fiberglass roofs for high-end RV motorhomes."

Quote: "Fire Chief John C. Littell said no one was injured in the fire, which occurred about 8:30 near the Mountain Spring overpass between exits 67 and 68. He said a minivan was on fire when crews arrived..."

Note: This car fire actually happened on June 2, but I put it here just to point out the pickup truck AND the separate car bursting into flame while parked in Janesville on consecutive days. The Rock River flows right through the middle of Janesville...

Quote: "Witnesses say the fire started in or around a car in the garage and spread to the entire home. A spokesperson for the Columbia Fire Department said homes on either side of the house that burned received minor heat damage."

Quote: "A CFA spokesman said a car had caught fire in a garage in Farran Street, Castlemaine about 7pm. "

Quote: "The CFA spokesman said a car had caught fire alongside the rail line at Bagshot just after 6.30pm and the rail line was re-opened about 7.15pm."

Note: Sounds like the first one was a parked car and the second one there's no indication either way. These two towns are about 30 miles apart as the gas blows and the fires broke out about 30 minutes apart...

Quote: "A Queens-bound train on the subway's No. 7 line filled with smoke Monday night near Grand Central Terminal, forcing the train to be evacuated and disrupting service for several hours, MTA officials say."

Quote: "Though ABC News says some passengers passed out due to the smoke, no injuries were reported."

Note: A 45-year-old man collapsed and died on a subway train in the Bronx not long ago, mentioned in the 2014-05-04 update. And remember last year, when officials pumped an innocuous heavier-than-air gas into the subways in New York City? (Officials did the same in London too.) That was to see where heavier-than-air hydrogen sulfide would go once in the subway systems and try to head off problems like this. Not to disparage the effort though - who knows how bad things would be right now if they hadn't taken any steps at all. The NYC subway gas test was mentioned in the 2013-04-26 update and the London subway gas test was mentioned in the 2013-06-14 update...

Quote: "Grand Rapids firefighters remain on the scene of a house fire early Monday, June 2, looking for hot spots. A neighbor reported 'hearing some type of explosion' around 3 a.m. in the 1700-block of Ranch Drive NW. Firefighters said there was a 'a lot of fire' in the garage which spread to the second floor of the house."

Quote: "The blast caused extensive damage of about 40 persons including staff and other ordinary citizens walking around the scene where the explosion occurred which located in the busiest market of the Las-Anod. Dr. Ahmed Adani said, 'Around 40 people have been wounded by the explosion, three of them critically.' Abdi Ali Hirsi, brother of the owner of the gas station speaking to the media said the explosion set off after a barrel of gas exploded and spread to other parts of the station."

Note: What ignited that barrel of gas? Sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match...

Note: What ignited this propane? It definitely leaked, but propane needs an ignition source. Hydrogen sulfide, if there's any in the air or that has adsorbed onto stuff, may serve as the igniter. So if there are any kind of flammable vapors in the air, for any reason, then you might wanna just count on them igniting and if they don't then you can be pleasantly surprised...

Quote: "This is the latest incident involving a PTSC bus in Tobago. Last year the brakes on a bus malfunctioned while it was on its way from Bloody Bay to Roxborough while another bus almost plunged over a cliff at Turpin Bend, Charlotteville, when it encountered mechanical difficulties."

Quote: "There are still some delays on the M18 Southbound between J1 and the M1, because of fire on a car transporter. South Yorkshire Fire say they believe the brakes caught fire, before it spread to the cars on the transporter."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

Quote: "Fire crews arrived at a house near Fox Ridge Drive and North Valle Verde Drive about 3:50 a.m. where they found heavy smoke coming from the garage of the two-story home. The fire department found a car inside of the garage on fire and extinguished it. The fire did not spread into the home, but heat and smoke damage was present. The loss from the fire was estimated at $75,000."

Quote: "Police initially said the incident was being investigated as a wreck from the car hitting a chain-link fence. It was not clear if the car caught on fire before or after hitting the fence, Eyster said, so the cause is still undetermined."

Quote: "About 70 firefighters are tackling a fire in Doncaster which has spread from a pallet yard to a nearby building. South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service was first called to the pallet yard on Cow House Lane in Armthorpe at about 01:30 BST. It is then thought the fire spread to the nearby West Moor Park Network Centre on Yorkshire Way, where a single building is on fire."

Quote: "Kawkawlin Township Fire Department firefighters stand near the skeletal remains of a building at the King Lumber Company off of Fraser Road in Bay City late on Saturday. The fire, which consumed a large section of the lumber yard, started on Saturday night and continued into Sunday morning as firefighters from multiple fire departments battled the fire."

Note: Walnuts e.g. wood, so not much different from the lumber yard or the pallet yard fires, just wood in a different shape. A door business was destroyed by fire the day prior in New Ulm (Minnesota), mentioned in the 2014-05-31 update, though that fire did also involve several parked collector cars burning along with the wood business. From the full hypothesis: "Wood-related fires will escalate, including fires at pallet companies, wood-carving businesses, furniture businesses, door companies, cabinet companies, etc."

Note: Blamed on a camera flash igniting a gas cloud created by a leaking outdoor gas grill at a newly-built place. Did they rule out the possibility of a cloud of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide blowing by right here on the coast? Nope, so they don't know if that's what caused this explosion or not. Very well could have been. There was a very similar incident not long ago, on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where an explosion occurred outdoors while some people were being served food with a flammable gel used to keep food warm at restaurants. That explosion was mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update and injured 4 people outside a beachfront resort hotel. Electrified copper in this woman's camera may have been the ignition source for a cloud of gas NOT from that leaking grill, and the flame from the heating gel outside the hotel may have been the ignition source for a cloud of gas in the Canary Islands. Extremely similar these two events, a 'freak' explosion outdoors and right near a coast in each case. And then there was an event where an explosion killed a young man outside his van at City Beach in coastal Perth (Australia), mentioned in the 2014-02-26 update. The ignition source in that case was probably electrified copper in his van or maybe he had a cigarette or doobie lit...

Quote: "Meanwhile in a separate incident north of Durban, a truck that overturned on the N2 south near Sibaya also affected traffic. Netcare 911 says one man was seriously hurt in the crash. It's unclear what caused the vehicle to overturn."

Quote: "The fire destroyed the barn as well as a van, caravan, car and tractor but the firefighter leading the emergency response has praised crews for preventing the blaze from spreading to a nearby thatched building. Dorset Fire and Rescue Service incident commander Steve Underhill said: 'At 11.18am we received a call that a vehicle was on fire, believed to be a caravan.'"

Quote: "An early morning fire destroyed a recreational vehicle and caused at least $250,000 in damage to a commercial building in Sanger, a Cal Fire spokesman said. The fire started just before 4 a.m. Sunday in the 3200 block of South Sanger Avenue. It seemed to have started in the recreational vehicle, which was parked next to the building, said spokesman Ryan Michaels, but no cause has been determined yet."

Quote: "Police also attended as it was believed to have been deliberate ignition. Inspector Pete Turner confirmed that their original suspicions had been squashed. He said: 'It was initally believed that the vehicle had become on fire deliberately. Further inspection showed that there was no cause for suspicion.'"

Quote: "Plumes of smoke were visible for miles from the site of the fire north of Lake Poygan. Chief Scott Rieckmann of the Clayton-Winchester Fire Department said the blaze spread over about 300 acres."
